Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

And it's very plain to see

It's not the way it used to be.

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

At this point, John begins the record of the last six months of Jesus' ministry.

And so you'll notice how much time and attention John spends in the last six months of his ministry,

pointing out the fact that Jesus is no longer walking so openly in the area of Judea among the Jews. In fact,

from the other gospel records, we know that at this point, Jesus went first up to the area of

Tyre and Sidon with his disciples, then on over the hill to Cessori of Philippi,

which is at the base of Mount Hermon, up into Mount Hermon where he was transfigured.

And of course there at Cessori of Philippi, Peter's great confession.

except for the record that we will receive here in chapter 7 through chapter 10
